The lark is, probably, If the whole
truth were told, at first rather disap-
pointment to most Americans who not
unnaturally expect from "the bird that
sings at Heavens gate'' n song of great
variety and volume IT was! III Sussex
many years ago, upon the cliffs overlook
ing St. leonard s-on-the-Sea, that we first
made his acquaintance. 1t was early
morning, clear and calm after II night of
storm, which had brought two wrecks on
shore within sight, and the shock and roar
of the waves were still so tremendous that
we were fairly driven from our ac-
customed walk along the Marina, and
turning inland by Il road which tunneled
its way upward, gained the level of the
rich farming land above the town. AS
we emerged into he,srnshine bird rose
singing from an adjacent field. "Can that
feeble, monotonous chirper be skylark:'
thought we rs lie rose higher, still coll
tinuing to sing. His actions answered
the doubt; for, us if he had been on cxhi-
bition, he sti1 rose with successive hut-
tering impulses in widening spiral, till
he was quite lost to sight in the cloudless
sky, while hisyoice proved itselfsof more
penetrating quality than had ut first ap-
peared, for it continued to reach us,

tinctness.-Theodore II. Mead in ,Ameri-

Tho Moro Noise the Better.

There is o popularity about the pheas-
ants which probably does; not apply to any
to any other bird.or animal on the globe;
and this is the fact that no hunter was
ever able, under any conceivable circum-
stances, to surprise one or get within gun
shot Of him without being observed. The
writer has tried the experiment frequent
", but never succeeded. The only way to
get near enough TO a pheasant to shoot
nim isito Ha9ke al the noise possible, In
this %aythes bird can fbe approached as
nearly as desired, but the moment the
hunter stops the bird has flown with such
rapidity that it seems to have been fired
from howitzer..i Indeed, instances are
frequent where they have flown with
such velocity as to dash themselves to
death against trees in their route.-Balt-

ments that went before or those which
followed after. How the time went / do
not know, but!after what;I thought was
greatswhile I found myself sitting by q
dull, dark stream, staring gloomily tntoit.
I do not know what was passing through
my mind; perhaps no settled thought had
formed itself; but was in very abyss OF
despair. Suddenly I felt o little hand
thrust into mine, and child kissed me.
I looked up and saw village girl OF or
8 years old, very plain but for pair OF
wistful eyes, who gazed pitifully at me
and said, "Poo' boy!" From her lips did
notwince at the reproach of youth. Slowly
I Icame outtof the dark mood in which was
ready for I know not what rash act; and
in talking to the little girl, and feeling
her hand confidingly in mine, I gradually
found composure and resignation. She
was very shy, and even stupid, and, when
4 got; her to speak, her voice was coarse,
and she talked in q villainously provincial
accent; but still, by her mute kindliness
and fellow feeling, she had saved me from
what dared not contemplate, and owed
her debt of gratitude which could not
pay.
Alas! these milder moments were not
for long. AT last ] reached home, and
found the boy, who had preceded me, had
told his story from his own point Of view,
and my wife, perhaps rightly, took his
part. IT suppose" she said with stately

man and you-don't deserve to be treated
like one. And to strike the poor boy be-
fore the whole school! zsOh, it was too
badl" So sl
dare say it was; but it was not DIS
Greet to tell me so, and she does not know
what I feel. Her chiding has brought
back all my old bitterness and gloom,
and think if were now on that river
bank again, not even the little girl would
save me. But men arc weak, and for the

Dusky Princes Driving Nails.

An Altona newspaper publishes the i'll
teresting intelligence that Alfred Bell, q
son of King Bcll. of CAMERON, has been
apprenticed to Il carpenter of that town
along with three other .dusky Africans.
The youth is 1G years old and is said to be
fairly intelligent, reading and writing
very we'll and speaking English and Ger
man. The Altoona carpenter had sent ont
an artisan to CAMERON to supcrintel
the erection of the government building
and prison which he had built in wood for
the colony, and thus it was that King
Bell got the desire to make q carpenter
out Of his son, who is bound for four
years.-Ncw York Star.

One favorite newspaper topic is o
defamation against ice water, yet every
body drinks 1t, and nobody is hurt unless
the water itself is bad ,sor it istused>to ex-
cess, and men are made Ill by excess in
eating and drinking Of anything. Another
fancy Is that Watermelons are frequent

"cholera bombs, y and yet nothing Is more
wholesome and harmless than that part Of
the melon which is usually eaten.-New-

ParIs at the Seaside.

The idea Of trip oncesa year TO the
seaside has been accepted by every class
of Partisan society. The Normandy coast
is lined -with.villas and chalets from Hon
feur to Cherbeurg, and right along to
Nantes, built by speculative contractors
whenever they discover some new. spot,
which few newspaper paragraphs are
to convert into fashionable resort for
sea bathing; hotels spring up like mush-
rooms, where those who are content to,
forfeit their individuality take their places
ut table d'hote like so many sheep. Their
host increases the sum fixed per diem as
equivalent for board and lodging by maxi
ing those who arrive late for breakfast or
dinner pay flne, and by subjecting such
as introduce spirits, candles or soap into
his establishment to q momentary penalty.
At table the visitor realizes the dreadful
lnisfortunes which must have befallen the
twenty-five little cobblers of the nursery
rhyme as the dishes are passed along in
front of them, and they arc charged ex-
tortionately for liquids baptized with
names pompously recalling the best Bor-
deaux and burgundy yintages, but which
would not even pass muster with the ex-
else officers at the gates Of Paris. The
fruit, fish and meat are supplied from the
French capital every morning, and the
visitor soon learns to his cost that the gay
city he has left behind is the only place
where fresh produce can be obtained for
moneys worth, -
Hotel keepers and owners of boarding
houses think that the privilege of inhaling
ozone cannot be properly enjoyed, especi-
ally during the dog days, unless quickened
bysa proportionate emulation of coin.
Each year the price Of food and apart.
ments appears to increase, and the cost Of
the periodical emigration is equal to the
sum required to keep any one for the rest
Of the year in Paris. Revolutions have
been caused by the rapacity of certain
spectators whose interests clashed with
tho material welfare Of the people, but the
French submit with lamblike humility to
the exorbitant demands Of the grand
children of mere wreckers, despoilers and
smugglers who formerly piled their ne
farious business along this same sea coast.

A FATAL MISTAKE.

4dG CtcOetoftc1 \Ouio/ 1908,
Of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account Of a fatal
surgical operation which. caused
a great colnmot;on among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon. in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from scmc disease Of the stom-.
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all The physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indesclibable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as q
faint call gone'' sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
grlid feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. ALI prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justif-
able. Accordingly, OH the 22d
Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, Dr.. Pea'ier, DR..
Arms, Dr.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and Dr. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
q terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together ard
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for The husband Of tllis
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects OF a
surgical operation that ought
rever to have been performed.
Ii this woman had taken tie
roper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what Tie disease really
was}, she would have been liv-

cases is too voluminous to be
